Hmmmm.....I see what you mean. I have been thinking that if my retirement happens in (hopefully) six years, I would go ahead and get the truck in a couple of years, then the camper in the months prior to retirement.
So I'm truck window shopping. LOL Thanks for the input!
Oh, another related question.....how liveable is the camper off the truck? I've seen a few videos which make it look like sliding the camper out is a fairly painless process, and that once off, you can lower it on the jacks and still occupy it without it being on the truck??
Some you can (builder says it's ok), some you cannot (builder recommends against it). Lance says ok, I know that. You don't slide it out anyway, you lift it via the jacks until it clears the bed and drive out from under it and then lower it down. Putting the whole family inside with the unit resting on the jacks is placing an inordinate amount of load / stress on the jacks and supporting framing, even when lowered down. Lance says it's ok but I always put support under my Lance when I used it off the truck.
Liveable? Yes, convenient, not really. TC, by their very nature are an exercise in compact living even with slides. Sort of a real portable tiny house.....
